Sarkisian is better. He’s a better recruiter from the moment he got to Texas They’ve recruited top five and that’s one of the main things getting talent and he’s better at it. He’s been to two playoffs and won two playoff games and against Washington and Ohio State He was a few plays away from playing for the national championship in back to back seasons.

And in the last three Texas has been looking like it’s inevitable They’re gonna win a national championship soon with Sarkesian just like Kirby Georgia Ryan Day at Ohio State Nick saban at bama you can see it coming. Kiffin is a good coach though I think he will do well at lsu but some of y'all have brain rot.

Sarkisian has 2 final fours in the last 3 seasons. No other coach can say that.

No his Texas teams get blown out when they shouldn't, at least Kiffin kept his Ole Miss teams competitive in their L's except when it was against Nick and Bama in 2021

I don't think you realize how deficient this LSU roster is. Texas, for instance, is better at 21/22 positions, the only place LSU is better is TE1

Your year 6 coach should be fired immediately if this wasn’t the case. Not going to fact check you on the position analysis as I do not care enough, but comparing a year 6 coach at a school throwing tons of money around to a year 1 coach at a school coming off a rocky season and just getting started is at best laughable.

I would not call others retards if you live in Louisiana. Unless a Mississippi fan of course.

Quick Google for States with lowest IQ average...

Mississippi registers the lowest average estimated IQ score at 94.2, followed closely by Louisiana (95.3) and California (95.5).

You fail to mention that Kiffin was dealing with severe scholarship reductions in his tenure. They really had their effects in his third and fourth seasons.
He was 8-5 and 10-2 in his first two season before the scholarship hit.
Sark was 9-4 and 3-2 before he was canned. His 3-2 was the same as Kiffin in their final abbreviated year.
So your "analysis" is horse dung. Then again, you're an Aggie. Facts don't matter.

Lane Kiffin was the best coach Saban ever hired, I hope he comes back when we get rid of Deboer

They are probably comparable in terms of their abilities to field a good offense



Not really.

Kiffin averaged 5.6th nationally in total offense at Ole Miss over the past 6 years.

Sark averaged 36.4th with much more resources over the past 5 seasons.

I see there's at least one honest Alabama fan on the board.

Sark is more careful than Kiffin. Kiffin will take unnecessary risks at times

This is a good analysis. Sark was too careful against Clemson when he was the stand in OC. If he was a bit more committed to running the ball Bama wins that game. Deshaun Watson was just given one too many chances.

The real question is who can party harder - Sark or Kiffin? I think Kiffin has the edge on this one.

Kiffin isn’t even in the top 5.

I remember when people here mocked Saban and Alabama for hiring Kiffin. They were so confident that not only was Kiffin going to be a disaster, he was going to drag Saban and Alabama down with him.

Their opinion of Kiffin sure has changed since then.

So Saban has hired the most hated man in CFB to counter Auburn's offensive prowess and Mark Richt decided to gain control by hiring the defensive coordinator of "that team that shall not be named".
Auburn should be flattered. And highly amused. The Kiffin hire smells of desperation and panic

Great example on the Franklin hire. Gumps just can't see it yet.


When Kiffin gets fired mid season it'll all make sense to them then

The Pruitt hire is the best UGA could've done. They really knocked it out the park with that one. Now the Kiffin hire is baffling...and I love that Bama hired him

Actually, I woke up on kind of a shitty mood... Then I remembered that Lane Kiffin works at Bama. And now I'm happy again.

Posted by daBIGKAHUNA 1/11/14 at 10:54 am to BamaGradinTn

Lane is a serviceable OC and from an X's and O's stand point its an OK hire. The real issue for Bama's program is whether he can bow down to the master. Saban is a hard driving task master and he won't take one ounce of shite off that smug bastard. Can Lane deal with being put in his place on a regular basis? Pete Carrol is nothing like Saban. The great thing for the rest of the SEC is the fact that Lane will cheat his arse off on the recruiting trail and won't give a shite if he burns bridges or not. The man has NO loyalty to anyone except the man he looks at in the mirror. It is likely he'll get the REC/Bama in a position that it'll be hard to buy or explain their way out of and do his best to burn that program to the ground on his way out of town. He is who he is - not even Saban can change that.

I think Bama would have been better off having Saban go to Texas than having Kiffin come to be their OC

Yeah but the joke was Cam was fired from a team that went on to win the Super Bowl without him. Lane is a train wreck with an even worse reputation. I'm sure some of the Bama fans here bookmarking posts made similar remarks about Cameron, but they'll never own up to it.

The decline is real. Kiffin is the plague, burning every program he touches to the ground. They better bring the Alabama national guard with him for body guards on TSIO

It's gold to see Bama hire the man who has left disaster in every place he's ever gone just give him time. And yes, it's also gold to see Kiffy reduced to OC

Can we change the thread title to "LSU hires Lane Kiffin as Offensive Coordinator" so I can see what the Bama fans really think of him?

A finalist for the Broyles Award wasn't even Top 5? You sung his praises until he took the LSU job. You're such a clown.
